In a sex fantasy gone wrong, two men bearing machetes entered the wrong house in New South Wales, Australia before quickly leaving upon realising their error.
One of them has now been acquitted of entering a home armed with a weapon in July 2019, reports Australian media.
They had been hired to carry out a client’s fantasy of being tied up in his underwear and stroked with a broom.
The judge concluded that “the facts of the case are unusual”.
The role play was arranged over Facebook by a man near Griffith, New South Wales who provided his address to the hired pair.
“He was willing to pay A$5,000 if it was ‘really good’,” the judge said.
But he moved to another address 50km (30 miles) away without giving an update to the two men. In July they entered a home on the street of the original address.
The resident noticed a light on his kitchen at 06:15 but assumed it was a friend who came daily to make morning coffee.

When they realised their error, one of the pair said “Sorry, mate” and shook the resident’s hand, according to Australia media.
The two men then drove to the correct address, where the customer noticed one man had a “great big knife” in his trousers.
The client then cooked bacon, eggs and noodles, and a short time later, the police arrived at the property and arrested the hired pair.
The judge ruled that evidence did not suggest the men’s actions were intentional.
“They carried the machetes either as a prop or something to use in that fantasy,” he said.
“The fantasy was unscripted and there was discretion as to how it would be carried out.”
A lawyer for one of the accused, Terrence Leroy, said, “It was a commercial agreement to tie up and stroke a semi-naked man in his underpants with a broom. Entry was not with intent to intimidate.”
